April 22, 2010 — February 27, 2026

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Xavier Dominguez, who left this world far too soon on February 27, 2026, at the tender age of 15. Born on April 22, 2010, in Torrance, CA, Xavier was a vibrant young soul whose life was tragically cut short. Xavier was the cherished son of Stephanie, who preceded him in death, and the adored brother of Suzana, who also left this world too soon. Though his time with us was brief, the impact Xavier made on those around him will be remembered forever. He was a beacon of light, known for his beautiful smile that could light up any room and his infectious laughter that brought joy to everyone he encountered. A student in the 10th grade, Xavier was full of dreams and aspirations. He was actively looking for his first job, eager to step into the world and carve out his path. Xavier had a passion for boxing and was excited about starting boxing classes. With dreams of becoming a barber, he was a young man full of ambition and creativity. Xavier also had a love for dancing and playing video games, hobbies that brought him immense joy and allowed him to connect with friends. Xavier had beautiful curly hair that framed his face, often setting the stage for his ever-present smile. His friends and family remember him as someone who was always smiling and laughing, a testament to his joyful spirit and zest for life. A celebration of Xavier’s life will be held on March 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Greater Union Baptist Church, located at 1880 Xanthia St. Friends, family, and all whose lives were touched by Xavier are invited to attend this service to honor his memory and reflect on the joy he brought into our lives. In this time of grief, Xavier's family wishes to send a heartfelt message to the community: "My son didn’t deserve to die the way he did. He was an amazing son and brother. He deserves justice." The family requests that in lieu of flowers, gestures of support be directed toward seeking justice and honoring Xavier’s memory in ways that uplift the community. Though Xavier is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. May we all find comfort in the joyful moments we shared with him, and may his memory continue to inspire us to live with the same kindness and enthusiasm he embodied. Rest in peace, dear Xavier. You are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
